"Here is a well-known story. Before sometime in the early modern period, Europeans
believed that knowledge of nature came solely from reading books, above all those
of Aristotle. Then the humanist re-discovery and translation of various ancient philosophical
works led the number of "authorities" to grow, and alongside a monolithic "Aristotelianism"
emerged any number of "-isms": Stoicism, Epicureanism, Platonism, Skepticism, and
so on. Gradually, philosophers realized that they need not need rely on authorities
at all, and began to use their own reason, coupled with experience and experiment.
Scholasticism and humanism were dead, and the "Age of Reason" had begun, with Descartes
as its iconoclastic father (perhaps with a little help from Bacon)"
